Do not go gentle




“The 50-year-old distance runner often relates better to his 16-year-old running partner than to his sedentary age cohort. We're not completely the same, but when it comes to running, our similarities far outweigh our differences,” wrote Beverly.

     I find the above quote interesting.  I've been wondering why all my closer friends are a decade or two younger than I am, but it is because of shared interests.  For example, I've been trying to get a hiking group together and mentioned it to a group of friends who are my age.....there was little interest and a lot of "I'm too old" or "I can't walk up hills."  I hope, and will try, to never make "I'm too old" my motto.
     Age is irrelevant...to everything.
